Making Your Mark
Making Your Mark [MYM] is a free summer art-making program for rising junior and senior New York City public high school students. This summer participants focused on the role of storytelling in art. Using Isamu Noguchi’s sculptures and models for the stage as sources of inspiration, participants considered how storytelling elements such as theme, plot and character are woven together, and explore a range of sculptural materials in teh studio.
Participants meet at The Noguchi Museum, and are expected to attend all fifteen sessions. All art materials are provided. Participants receive a $300 stipend for participation, and all students have the option to receive a MetroCard.
For more information about this program, contact education@noguchi.org. Applications for the next cohort will be posted in Spring 2023.
